AWSOME.. Just seen it. Far better than last night and got a good 3 minutes worth of viewing too. I didnt realise the path it would take. If I knew if was cmoing straight at me I would have got my TScope out, much easier to track faster objects when coming right at you.

Very bright. I bet some people in here should have some good photos of it tonight..

Scum

Saw it years ago over Wigan, just came flying past, you can see satellites on a clear night with a good eye.

Just seen it wow and an awesome night for it aswell

It seemed to be flickering orangey whiteish colour correct? it was the brightest thing in the sky

That was incredible, thanks for the heads up.

Saw a shooting star about 30 seconds before the ISS turned up too so all in all an excellent night.

It's so clear out tonight.

Yeah I noticed that too. Oh I also saw 4 shooting starts too as it was passing. They were in a different part of the sky though.

Pollocks 4 you are lucky to see 1 in your lifetime, I have seen 2 up to date.

It just flew over my place in worcestershire,lucky to spot it amongst tonights starry sky. Man! that thing was moving fast,really pleased to finally see it!

andi · 7 Aug 2007 at 23:30

I'm confused!

Saw something very fast, faster than the plane that went past much nearer a few minutes before, but it wasn't the bright light I was expecting :confused:

What did it look like?

Mik3 · 7 Aug 2007 at 23:30

I got my telescope setup ready in the yard but it was moving way to fast to track it

cheets64 · 7 Aug 2007 at 23:32

Well it not going to go slow, its in space, from the naked eye its just a dot moving fast across the nights sky, soon goes.
